It's no different from buying a book at the bookstore. The one copy
you pay for is yours to use. However, that doesn't mean you also have
the right to take it down to a friendly neighborhood printer and have
them print up a few dozen extra copies for you.
It's mostly common sense. The client does not get "copyrights" to
make additional copies, but that does not prevent them from using the
one copy they did pay for. Just like a book bought at the bookstore.
Any copyright attorney should tell you the same thing, I expect.
